Title of Bulletin Board: Move it, Move it
Category: Movement Vocabulary
Suggested Grade Level: K-2
Materials: border, letters, draw pictures of stick people, background paper, circle cut-outs
This is the bulletin board I made for our locomotor & non-locomotor movements. I drew stick people performing the movements, then I printed off of word art the description of each movement. I also stated the cues for each movement (i.e., hop - 1 foot, skip - step, hop, etc.). This was a great reminder for the students on what each movement should look like. The students liked the catchy title too.

Rupert Murdoch's business audacity and political shrewdness built one of the world's most powerful media empires. Now his dynasty is under threat – not from outside competition, but from shocking accounts of bribery, blackmail and invasion of privacy. The scandal has prompted criminal investigations on both sides of the Atlantic and cracked open the insular world of the Murdoch family. FRONTLINE correspondent Lowell Bergman tells the story of the battle over the future of News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch's reputation and his family's fortunes.

Please find answers to our most commonly asked questions. If you can't find the answer you are looking for here, or would like to discus any issue in more depth, please feel free to get in touch with us directly
What is a BID?
A Business Improvement District (BID) is a designated zone in which businesses benefit from a wide range of additional services over and above those funded through the standard commercial rates and council services.
Constituted by UK law in 2004, a BID is a powerful, independent voice representing the interests of a varied community of organisations, committed to working together to ensure that the area continues to progress whilst providing the best possible trading and working environment for its occupiers.
These extra benefits are aimed at vastly improving the quality of the area for the businesses, visitors and employees within it as well as improving attractiveness to new investors. This can include physical projects such as better lighting and street cleaning as well as crime reduction programmes, events, additional marketing, networking and inward investment initiatives.
Every five years businesses in the designated area vote for the continuation of the BID and if they vote yes, any occupiers within the BID become members for the duration of the next 5 year term. Members within the area pay a levy based on a small percentage of their rates to contribute towards these benefits and improvements.
What are the objectives of the BID?
Drive footfall and attract new visitors by enhancing the events programme and providing more co-ordinated marketing
Improving the appearance of our town through a series of projects from planting to street cleansing and more
Making our town safer for visitors and businesses
Attracting more investment to the town
Give direct support to the business community to help them prosper
Represent the needs and views of the Business community to the local authority and other statutory agencies and organisations
Who runs the BID?
The BID is an independent, business led company run by an operational team who are employed by a board of directors chosen democratically to represent the local business community. The board of directors is democratically elected from nominated members of the local business community at the BID's Annual General Meeting. Levy payers much register themselves to be eligible to vote or nominate.
The BID zone covers a wide geographical area at the heart of Southport including the main retail streets and the central tourist attractions. Taking in the whole of the Marine Park area it stretches from the Municipal Golf Links to the North to Victoria Park in the south and inland covering the Promenade, Lord Street, Chapel Street and to the end of Eastbank Street. It also covers Ocean Plaza and Central 12 retail, hospitality and entertainment schemes.
What has the BID been responsible for?
In its first two years the BID has been responsible for a number of projects.
These have included 10,000sqm of high pressure street cleansing, half a million new lights on Lord Street, floral and planting schemes throughout the town centre. The BID has installed the town's Christmas lights and is extending the scheme each year.
The BID has added two new events to the Southport calendar with Spookport Halloween Festival and the Christmas Lights Switch On, both seeing crowds of around 15,000 in the town centre. We also support Southport Festival and the comedy festival.
We administer the Southport Business Against Crime network and work extremely closely with Merseyside Police to reduce crime against businesses and to make the town centre safer for visitors.
For more information on the work we do please see our News feed, Facebook or download our Annual Report here
How will we know if the BID is successful?
We will
- actively monitor footfall levels, business performance, new investment, crime statsitics, unit occupation percentage
- carry out regular visitor perception surveys
- actively consult with BID members and stakeholders to assess the performance and efficancy of programmes
When should the BID levy be paid?
The BID levy is charged annually for a term starting on the 1st November. BID Levy Bills are issued automatically before this date and collected on our behalf by Sefton Council rates department.
Normal procedures will apply and steps taken to recover debt. The BID will discuss any payment issues with businesses and do all it can to ensure people struggling to pay are supported and all formal action is avoided.
If you cannot afford to pay your levy, you have closed your business, wish to discus payments or queries on payments, please contact the Non Domestic rates team on 0151 934 4360 during the following times: Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm to discuss an arrangement to pay. It is important you do not ignore the notices you have been sent as you may incur further costs.
For questions regarding the BID and the work it does please call the team on 01704 538382
Can I opt out of paying?
Unfortunately not. After receiving the yes vote in 2014, businesses in the BID area who meet the criteria are automatically members until the re-ballot in 2019. If you would like to discuss this further please email or call the BID office at anytime and we will be happy to explain in more depth.
Normal procedures to unpaid bills and reminders, followed by formal steps taken to recover debt. The BID will discuss any payment issues with businesses and do all it can to ensure people struggling to pay are supported and all formal action is avoided.
If you cannot afford to pay your levy, you have closed your business, wish to discus payments or queries on payments, please contact the Non Domestic rates team on 0151 934 4360 during the following times: Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm to discuss an arrangement to pay.

Product Details
The human figure was central to Matisse's work, both in sculpture and painting. He used several styles, but his signature use of minimalism and limited details while still conveying space and form can be seen in the artwork featured in this 1949 drawing of a dancer. Mourlot printed this lithographic poster for an exhibition at Galerie Jacques Benador in Geneva in 1980.
- Lithographic Poster, 1980. Limited Quantity.
- Traditional gold frame
- 8-ply bright white archival mat
- Tru Vue Conservation Clear® glass
- Artist Biography
Additional Information
The Ethan Allen Modern Masters CollectionFRAMING DETAILS & CARE
Tru Vue Conservation Clear® picture framing glass offers the highest level of UV protection available in the industry. Over time exposure to indoor and outdoor UV light rays can contribute to fading and deterioration of art, photographs and other important personal keepsakes. Conservation Clear glass effectively blocks up to 99% of UV light rays to protect against fading and help keep framed pieces brighter, longer.
Tru Vue Conservation Clear® Care:
- Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the glass. Tru Vue recommends using a micro-fiber cloth.
- Spray a small amount of ammonia-free cleaner onto the cloth. Spraying on the cloth will prevent overspray.
- Press the cloth against the glass and clean in round, circular motions.
Never spray directly onto the glass- the cleaner could leak into the frame and damage the image
Archival Mat Board
Also known as conservation mat board, this is the highest-quality paper matting material available. It is constructed of 100% acid- and lignin-free alpha-cellulose (wood pulp) and treated to resist deterioration and discoloration for up to 300 years.
Archival-safe Foam Core
Foam core is used to cushion the image in its frame. Ours is constructed of acid-and lignin-free face paper layered atop an extruded polystyrene core for superior resistance to temperature changes and humidity.

Tropical Storm Beryl neared hurricane strength ahead of its expected landfall Sunday night on the Southeast Coast of the United States, U.S. forecasters said.
Tropical storm conditions had reached the coast with Beryl 75 east of Jacksonville, Fla., the National Hurricane Center said in its 8 p.m. advisory. The storm was packing 70 mph winds with higher gusts and was moving west at 10 mph. The storm is expected to turn north after landfall.
Dangerous surf conditions, including rip currents, are expected along the coast from northeastern Florida to North Carolina over the remainder of the Memorial Day weekend.
A tropical storm warning was in effect from the Volusia/Brevard County line in Florida to Edisto Beach in South Carolina.
The NWS said some slight strengthening of the storm was possible before landfall, and a steady weakening once it's on land. Beryl was expected to downgrade to a tropical depression by Monday night.
Those near the beach should be aware of a storm surge, the NWS said, and normally dry areas near the coast could be flooded.
Beryl is the second named storm of the hurricane season.

Activities and trips we can arrange from Khamlia
For the able bodied, guided walks through the dunes and into the desert can be organised. Guests can experience the desert environment in its entirety. Binoculars will be available. The dunes can be difficult to climb and sand can be trying to walk in so a reasonable level of fitness is required to enjoy and get the most of this walk.
Explore the village and learn about how we live day to day, walk through the dried up river bed and the village 'fields' and back by the local restaurant for a glass of reviving Moroccan tea – also know as Berber Whiskey!
The terrain is reasonably solid under foot and can be enjoyed by everyone. Visit one of the many traditional oven 'huts' around the village and you may be lucky enough to see the bread being baked and get a taste hot off the fire.
Walk or cycle for half an hour followed by another half hour walk into the desert between the dunes on one side and the stony 'Black Mountain' on the other.
Visit one of the local Gnaoua music venues and learn about Gnaoua and enjoy their world famous music.
Travel into the desert and explore your surroundings and the natural wonders of the desert while traditional Berber pizza is being prepared and cooked under the ground in the hot sand. If you fancy walking we can bring our donkey to help carry water, bags, wood and all the ingredients for our pizza. A truly wonderful experience.
- If it's mountains you like climbing we also have some of them nearby but we would have to travel by car/4x4. Tours of the local mineral mines (mica) are also available.
Local desert wildlife. As you explore the dune landscape you will spot an amazing array of delicate footprints in the sand. The desert fox is rarely seen in body but you might be lucky enough to see his prints as well as beetles, lizards, (also know as 'sand-fish') geckos, birds, hedgehogs, camels and desert mice.
Dune Drive, pretty scary and exhilarating, not for the faint hearted! 4x4 drives through the dunes with a stop for lunch at a local nomad tent.
- Or take a day trip to the Souks in bustling Rissani.
Camel treks, sunrise/sunset or overnight stays are all available.
- Bicycle trips and packed lunches are also available (with or without a guide)
Camp fires underneath the desert sky. Overnight underneath the stars.
Listen and feel the beat of the drums in your blood and feel the warmth of the desert sand between your toes.
The duration of these walks/trips will be tailored to the wishes/budget of our guests. This experience can also be organised by camel, quad or 4x4! Food can be arranged too. Water, packed lunches, light lunches to full dinners can be prepared and included to ensure you enjoy the desert experience as much as possible.

Clipless pros: More power, more security, feet won't come flying off the pedals - not always a good thing in a fall but essential on a descent or technical climb. Can sit and spin, especially on a full suss. More efficient and less tiring over a few hours.
Flats pros: requires (surprisingly I thought) a smooth pedalling style, easy to get off when falling, (unfortunately easy to fly off when descending or climbing). Can't just sit a spin all the time, especially on a hardtail, have to attack things and gives you a much harder workout. Teaches you good form when doing rear wheel lifts/bunny hops etc. Actually quite good fun and encourages a "play" mentality in me.
Clipless cons: Attached to bike, allows you to be lazy (I never realised how much clipless lets me get away with by keeping my feet attached to the bike).
Flats cons: Eat shins for breakfast as the several puncture wounds on mine will attest! Less secure feeling especially if used to clipless. Much more dificult to do technical climbs on, harder work generally. I find hill starts really difficult on them, especially if steep. Slower cadence for me, a few of the guys I ride with found the opposite but I tend to spin much more than them generally.
Having ridden clipless for about 4 years off road I will admit that I threw all my toys out of the pram several times when I first started using flats (about a month ago), its was like going back to being a complete novice again and I can't remember the last time I rode that slowly or climbed so badly. I put them on as I did a skills training course doing things like bunnyhops, rear wheel lifts and the instructors said we should try it with flats as it would show us correct technique, so on they went. I am pleased to report that I have gotten more used to them and actually enjoy riding them (on rides of two hours or less) and I can bunny hop and lift the rear wheel. I will be keeping them on for a while yet as they are definitely improving a lot of things about my riding.
But..... clipless still rules as far as I'm concerned, I was on my full-suss for the first time in a month at the weekend and it was nice to spin at my usual cadence and to absolutely hoon down stuff feeling part of the bike.
If the technicality of the trail spooks you then there will be a tendency to worry about being attached to the pedals, when I first started I was exactly the same. Once my confidence and skill grew it improved. These days if I don't like the look of something it doesn't really matter what pedals I'm on I most likely won't ride it.
I still have moments when I can't get out of the pedals, it happens to us all. Sometimes things happen so quickly it wouldn't matter what type of pedals you have on you will hit the deck.
I would personally say that you stick with the clipless especially if you have been riding a while as you will have conditioned yourself to them. If you decide to change to flats I'd pick up a cheapie pair first and whatever you do, under absolutely no circumstances try to ride on them in standard cycling shoes especially if they have cleats on, you need a set of flat soft soled type shoes (I use an old pair of Vans I had) otherwise you won't stay on them. I would also be prepared for a bit of a tradeoff between ability to get off the pedals quickly and the ability to do anything else on the bike, at least until you get used to them! You'll also need to ride them for a while to give them a fair chance, the only snagette is that if you don't ride clipless for a while you could "forget" the unclipping movement. I have tried to haul my feet straight off my Candies a couple of times since getting flats luckily no harm done!

Sunday night was date night for hubby and I-something we try to do consistently about every 6 weeks or so. We need the refreshment and adult time to talk about something besides kids! Actually our date nite was Saturday, but he was sick so we switched it to Sunday. Fortunately, our babysitter
(our oldest son) had off both days, so it was fine. Problem was....I was sick. Sick with this awful, yucky, head cold/sore throat thing I received on Christmas and does not want to let up. Fearing it would be way too long before we got to do it again, and knowing how much he wanted to go see a particular movie, I decided to buck it up and push through. I wasn't trying to play the martyr role and hubby was not making me feel guilty if I didn't want to go, I just figured maybe I'd start feeling better once I was out and about. Well....that was a wrong guess.
We got to the theater and bought our tickets for the 3 hour (yes, 3 hours!) movie and hunkered down. I stayed with it for much of the first part, but my body took over after that and I snoozed...out cold for the last 2/3 of the movie. So if you're going to see the Hobbit, don't ask me if it's a good movie-I don't know! Though it was a bummer to miss a movie you paid good money for, I got to thinking that actually, it was money well spent, considering the circumstances. I mean, I would never have gotten over 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep in the middle of the day like I did there. No one waking me to ask for something, no loud voices keeping me awake (okay-the movie volume doesn't count), and it was nice and dark. Ahhhhhhhh....it was actually....nice! Hmmmm..maybe I should do this more often!
After the movie, we drove to dinner and, despite having a server who was shockingly inattentive (okay-actually completely absent!), we were able to enjoy a good meal, but more importantly, some good conversation and time spent together. And we got a good laugh about the server. When we got home, I promptly put myself to bed and rested, which is what my body was screaming for! Should I have gone out that nite? Probably not-I would have done better nursing myself back to health. But was it worth it? You bet!
Welcome to our blog! Take a peek at our fun (but sometimes crazy!) life with raising 10 kids (well, 9 left at home)! There's never a dull moment at our house! "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward." Psalm 127:3

Osborne leaving on high note
Nebraska athletics on solid ground after navigating turmoil
LINCOLN, Neb. -- It was homecoming 1991. Ninth-ranked Nebraska was favored by 35 points against Kansas State, still thought of as a woebegone program at the time and whose best days were still far on the horizon.
A quarterback named Paul Watson was shredding the Huskers' secondary, and the Wildcats led by a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Rob Zatechka, a redshirt freshman who later would play on Nebraska's famed "Pipeline" offensive line, remembers pandemonium on the sideline. Teammates were yelling at each other, assistant coaches were yelling at players and other assistants.
AP: When you announced your retire- ment in September, you mentioned that you sensed there was a perception that your age was beginning to work against you. Do you feel you could stay on longer and be effective, if you chose to?
Osborne: I think the time was probably growing short. We have a lot of projects going on now and I think some people thought I would stay around to cut the ribbons. All these projects are pretty much on auto-pilot now. Once you get past the planning and the financing and the Board of Regents approval, then things are going to happen.
AP: What will you do through the summer to help Shawn Eichorst?
Osborne: Be a resource, and be available should any questions arise concerning any contract negotiations or previous agreements on the building projects, and if coaches have any concerns about any issues that I can help with -- recruiting, fundraising. Above all, I want to make sure Shawn Eichorst is as well-positioned and informed as possible. Then I think my job will be done.
AP: As you look back on it now, did you have to put some personal feelings aside when the move to the Big Ten was made in 2010, just because of your deep ties to Big Eight-Big 12 country?
Osborne: I felt more tied to the old Big Eight schools, so [they] were always in my thoughts. But we had to look where we were, which was in a league that appeared to be on the verge of falling apart. The Big Ten represented stability and some very positive things academically. Geographically it wasn't that much of a stretch.
AP: You've always advocated for student-athletes. Where do they fit into the picture?
Osborne: I don't want to pour cold water on the finances and money. I think those things all can be used to great benefit. But on the other hand, it seems to be driving the ship right now to a very large degree. I would hope student-athletes can be put somewhere at the forefront of the agenda. I find it odd that you see the escalation of dollars yet there seems to be a lot of controversy over providing student-athletes with a $2,000 stipend. It doesn't quite compute. It seems to me that the athletic scholarship should be cost of attendance, not just room, board, books, tuition and fees. I don't believe in making athletes employees. I would hope in the process of all this that we don't lose sight of the original purpose of college athletics, which is primarily the growth and maturation of student-athletes.
AP: How would you evaluate your five years as athletic director?
Osborne: From my perspective, things have stabilized. I think people here like to come to work and enjoy what they're doing and are competent. I think the athletic programs are in good shape and we have good coaches. We've tried to improve facilities to where they're among the best in the conference. Tried to do some things for student-athletes in terms of the Student Life Center and training table, athletic medicine, those kinds of things.
AP: How would you like to be remembered at Nebraska?
Osborne: When you're in the middle of the fray, your perspective isn't very good. I would rather let someone else determine that. I know I've done the best I can. That's all I can say. It isn't that I haven't given it an effort. There probably are people who could have done better and maybe some who could have done worse. I've done the best I could.
Then Zatechka caught sight of head coach Tom Osborne, the picture of calm as he chewed his Big Red gum and spoke through his headset, seemingly removed from the chaos around him.
"I was taken aback by it," Zatechka said. "I thought, 'He's not panicking. If he's not panicking, we shouldn't panic, either.'
"Someone asked Osborne why he never cut loose emotionally. I remember Osborne making the point that if the players see you losing emotional control, whether good or bad, they're going to lose emotional control, and that's where you see games spiral out of control."
Nebraska won 38-31 thanks to a last-minute goal-line stand. More than the result that day, Zatechka remembers Osborne.
"Sometimes if you maintain an outward sense of control over a situation," Zatechka said, "it has an amazing effect on the people around you."
Osborne will retire as Nebraska's athletic director Jan. 1 and end an association with the university that began in 1962. He turns 76 in February and will stay at the school through July 31 as athletic director emeritus to ease the transition of new athletic director Shawn Eichorst.
Perhaps as much as anything, Osborne's 25-year Hall of Fame coaching career and five-year run as a can-do AD are characterized by his strong and steady leadership, often in difficult circumstances.
"No matter how crazy things were going on around him, you knew Coach was going to be calm," said Terry Connealy, who played defensive tackle on the 1994 national championship team. "We weren't going to get caught up in the emotion of the moment. He's a calming influence. That's what the program needed when he came back as the athletic director, with all the perceived turmoil."
Chancellor Harvey Perlman asked Osborne to return in 2007 to stabilize an athletic department whose flagship sport was in a free fall under coach Bill Callahan and whose staff was burdened by low morale under Steve Pederson.
Osborne's first acts were to fire Callahan and hire Bo Pelini, who has won no fewer than nine games in his five seasons and led the Huskers to three conference championship games, and mend fences with boosters and former players who felt alienated by Pederson.
In addition to guiding the school's move from the Big 12 to the Big Ten two years ago, Osborne saw through key building projects.
The Student Life Complex, which opened in 2010, houses the academic support arm of the athletic department and has been voted the best facility of its kind in college athletics.
The Hendricks Training Complex, which opened in 2011, is one of the nation's top basketball practice facilities. The men's and women's teams will play in the downtown Pinnacle Bank Arena beginning next fall after four decades in the Devaney Sports Center.
A Memorial Stadium expansion, to be completed for the 2013 season, will increase capacity to more than 90,000.
"In my mind, he took us to a whole new level," 1972 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers said. "He took us to the most prestigious conference, more television time than ever, which will help us in recruiting. And there are more academic dollars for university and more prestige."
Trev Alberts, an All-America linebacker for the Huskers in the early 1990s and now the Nebraska-Omaha athletic director, said some people might be surprised at how much Osborne accomplished in his five years running the athletic department in Lincoln.
"It goes back to his experience as a coach," Alberts said. "He recognized that if he had gone back with the plan to just be a caretaker, there would have been a significant slide. He loves to solve problems and move forward."
Osborne, who was born in the south-central Nebraska town of Hastings, leaves the university as one of the most influential figures in the state's history.
Each of the 25 Nebraska football teams Osborne coached won at least nine games, and three of his last four teams won national championships. He left coaching after the 1997 season with a career record of 255-49-3, an .836 winning percentage that ranked fifth all-time among Division I coaches, and 13 conference titles.
He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1998.
After two years away from coaching, voters in the western Nebraska district elected him to the House of Representatives in 2000, 2002 and 2004. In perhaps the greatest upset in Nebraska political history, Osborne lost to popular incumbent Dave Heineman in the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary.
Osborne finished his third term in Congress and returned to the university to teach classes in leadership and business ethics before answering Perlman's call to steady the athletic department.
George Darlington, a longtime assistant coach under Osborne, said he knows Osborne was extremely disappointed to lose the gubernatorial race. But had Osborne won, Darlington pointed out, he wouldn't have been the athletic director.
"Who would be in place to have those facilities built?" Darlington said. "Steve Pederson, of course, had rubbed so many people wrong that I don't think he could have gotten it to completion. Someone from the outside wouldn't have had the clout."
Osborne plans to devote more time to the TeamMates program that he and his wife, Nancy, founded in 1991. What started as a small youth mentoring program has grown to 120 communities serving more than 4,000 students in grades 4-12. The program matches a student with an adult volunteer mentor to provide one hour of individual mentoring each week during the school year.
He also will get to enjoy more time with his grandchildren and do the things he and Nancy put off during his years as a coach, congressman and athletic director.
"He'll be as busy as ever," Rodgers said. "It's not like he's going to just go off and fish."
• Nebraska athletic director Osborne retiring at end of calendar year

VOTE 2016: Taiwan's Election: Change Is a Good ThingThe Taiwanese have grown tired of business as usual. They want change
Politics is a bit like sailing through rough seas without proper navigational instruments: there's a general idea as to the destination, but how to get there is very much an exercise of trial and error, triangulation, improvisation and adjustments.
The benefits of adjustments – their indispensability, in fact – are often underappreciated, as the human tendency is to favor the status-quo and predictability. However, as long-serving governments and authoritarian regimes have demonstrated over centuries, state and party institutions tend to ossify over time. As 'group think' sets in, the government becomes less and less capable of generating new ideas or implementing new practices. Rejuvenation cannot be self-generated, and stasis sets in.
Luckily for democratic countries like Taiwan, they have the advantage of having institutionalised the cyclical mechanisms by which citizens, as non-participants in the daily routine of governance, can judge that a regime has reached the limits of its utility and that the time has come for a course correction.
And a course correction is exactly what's in order for Taiwan after nearly eight years of Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) rule, just as it had become necessary after eight years of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) rule from 2000-2008. As the 16 January elections approach, it is very clear that President Ma Ying-jeou's KMT has run out of steam and that it is no longer capable of generating the new ideas that will guide Taiwan toward a more prosperous future.
The KMT's uninspired – and uninspiring – presidential campaign, first marred by the selection of an unappealing candidate who had to be replaced at the eleventh hour, has descended into a circus of negative campaigning and fear mongering. Very few new policies have been proposed by its presidential candidate, Eric Chu, except a vague deepening of Taiwan's relations with China, a proposal that is out of sync with what is on the minds of ordinary Taiwanese voters. There are, moreover, precious few new faces. Waving with apparent fatigue from the stage, the political dinosaurs are still in charge, enforcing a narrative that would have been contemporaneous 30 years ago.
Try as it might to strike fear into the hearts of the Taiwanese with predictions of collapse should the DPP's Tsai Ing-wen be elected, the strategy has had little traction in this election. And the reason for that is very simple: the Taiwanese have grown tired of business as usual; they want change.
The self-implosion of the KMT has encouraged the belief (and hope, in some circles) that the KMT is on its deathbed, that it will quickly collapse after the expected electoral disaster on Saturday. Such a scenario, however, is unlikely. Nor is it a desirable one. The KMT will continue to exist, but it will have to reinvent itself and realign its ideology with public expectations. For that to happen, it will have to undergo the trauma of clear defeat, just as happened to the DPP following the 2008 elections, after which many observers believed that the party was destined for the trash heap of history.
And so continues the cycle than began with the DPP's election in 2000, ending decades of single-party rule in Taiwan and launching a series of reforms that haven't always been given their due. Then after eight years, when the Chen Shui-bian administration was itself running out of steam, Taiwanese voters selected it out and gave the KMT a new chance to govern, and with that the opportunity to initiate much of the liberalisation that needed to occur in Taiwan's relations with the world's second-largest economy.
The pendulum is once again swinging in the other direction, and Ms. Tsai's DPP has been the most adept at positioning itself as the party that is best equipped to harness that momentum, due largely to her ability to read the public mood and her willingness – which did not go unopposed within her own party – to empower smaller parties and civil society, groups that the KMT continues to hold in contempt.
The greatest challenge for Ms. Tsai if and once she is elected will be to continue using the forces that have been unleashed by society as a catalyst for change in state institutions, many of which are, like the KMT, in dire need of rejuvenation. Aware that the DPP needed to modernise its image and way of doing things, Tsai took risks early on by bringing in individuals who have never been in politics, who hadn't 'paid their dues' and whose appointment was regarded with suspicion, if not outright hostility, by the more conservative elements within the DPP. Undoubtedly this paid dividends and accounts for her success in the election.
That kind of daring will have to be replicated if and once Ms. Tsai becomes president, beginning with the appointment of fresh faces (and hopefully more women) in key cabinet positions and in the mid-to-upper echelons of government. Ministries such as Foreign Affairs, Education, and National Defense should be prime targets for change and where institutional resistance to such change will likely be the fiercest. But it needs to be done. Unlike heads of state, government agencies are not exposed to the cycle of democratic retribution and therefore often withstand pressure for change, a reality that in Taiwan is exacerbated by the lingering effects of decades of party-state authoritarianism.
Just as important as breathing new life into government institutions will be the next president's ability to reach out to and work with a loyal opposition. The zero-sum nature of Taiwanese politics, which have kept the nation divided against itself for far too long and which the Taiwanese public has had enough of, must end once and for all. By embracing 'third force' parties and reaching across the political spectrum to find allies, Tsai has already demonstrated her inclination toward such inclusiveness. Much more of this will be needed. In victory, Tsai will have to be magnanimous and amenable to bringing on board individuals who, as per the old way of doing things, may not come across as natural allies. She will also have to resist the temptation, as she has done many times already, to appoint dinosaurs from her own camp who have been waiting on the sidelines.
None of this – the reform of state institutions and a non-zero-sum approach to politics – will be possible without the KMT's willing participation. And that will largely be contingent on whether its expected debacle on 16 January compels the leadership to clean house and to finally rid itself of the dinosaurs who, by taking the party hostage, have ensured its defeat. There is a very real chance that a new KMT, one that is much better aligned with the expectations of the Taiwanese public, will emerge from the ashes of the 2016 elections. And that will be a good thing for Taiwan.

One Response to "VOTE 2016: Taiwan's Election: Change Is a Good Thing"
"The self-implosion of the KMT has encouraged the belief (and hope, in some circles) that the KMT is on its deathbed, that it will quickly collapse after the expected electoral disaster on Saturday. Such a scenario, however, is unlikely. Nor is it a desirable one."
Perhaps it would be desirable if there were a credible alternative party. One that was socially liberal and politically tolerant rather than the socially progressive and politically correct alternatives currently available to the electorate.
"The KMT will continue to exist, but it will have to reinvent itself and realign its ideology with public expectations."
Or they could simply wait until the DPP makes such a mess of things as to render themselves sufficiently unpopular; which is essentially what the DPP did whilst the KMT was in power. After all, what "ideological realignment" has the DPP undertaken since 2012, or indeed 2008? There have been changes for sure, but those have been changes of personnel and policy details rather than overarching ideology.

Problems Hamper The Opening Of Downtown Gay Bar
Problems Hamper The Opening Of Downtown Gay Bar
A development group wants to transform a historic building at the corner of 5th and Central Avenue into a gay bar. However the city refuses to give them a liquor license.
Many homeowner associations in the area are against adding any more clubs downtown.
Property owner, Doug Peterson said that the arguments have no merit and believes that the opposition is because the club is a gay night club.
On Thursday, the club owners have another meeting with the city liquor officer.

Neighbors said Dwight Jones lived a quiet life by himself and was seldom seen except for an occasional jog or keeping up his immaculately landscaped house in New Lenox Township.
By the time he missed a family event Tuesday night, it had been several days since anyone had seen or spoken to the 59-year-old. A relative went to the house that night, and reported a strange smell and an apparent burglary, authorities said.
A patio door was unlocked. Inside, the house had been ransacked. Jones' car was missing from the garage. And his body lay, partially decomposed, in his bed in the master suite, Will County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said. Sheriff's deputies are investigating the death as a homicide.
